On Saturday night, the adults were going to play some board games at our friends' house when we went over for dinner, while the kids watched a movie. This plan fell through when M didn't want to watch the movie. We never got around to the games, but M had been VERY intrigued by them when we brought them in from the car. So I taught her and A how to play Scattergories. A played on my team, mostly, but M did her own board, with a little help from me. Here were her answers – very creative! Note: I didn't change the spelling at all.

(To play Scattegories, you have a list of categories for which you have to come up with answers that start with a particular letter. We rolled B and then H.)

Fictional Characters: Baily (Bailey is someone on iCarly), Harry Potter

Menu Items: Buffalo wings, Hamberger (I helped with Buffalo wings)

Magazines: Big Mama, Hippi Clothes (!)

Capitals: Boston, Helsinki (I helped)

Kinds of Candy: Butterfinger, Hershey chocalate (I helped)

Items You Save Up to Buy: House, Big dog

Footwear: Hush Puppies, Bolling Shoes  (she had help on this one)

Something You Keep Hidden: Heart pumping (?), Belly button (I helped)

Items In A Suitcase: Hippopottomos, Buddy the Movie (explanations: she said the hippo is a stuffed animal and "Buddy the Movie" refers to the Cake Boss DVD I pack for car rides)

Sports Equipent: High hit racket (?), Ballance Beam

And my favorite…

Crimes: Have a baseball team ("Because it's something I wouldn't do") and Burp in church.

Also, I just uploaded a bunch of photos from the camera, and will post throughout the week. Here are pics from the race and the Cherry Blossoms yesterday:
